Chapter 2633: Chapter 2636: Refining the Thunder Spirit Pill?

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Chen shook his head helplessly, no longer dwelling on matters of the battlefield, he steadied his mind, his gaze sharpened.

”Heaven and Earth Furnace!”

Blazing!

Searing flames emerged from Jiang Chen’s body, transforming into a massive furnace in the air.

”Is this... a combat skill?”

Those around furrowed their brows, looking at Jiang Chen with intrigue.

The City Guard Army responsible for maintaining order watched Jiang Chen vigilantly. The previous two bouts had ended in chaos, albeit not his fault, but the fact remained. At this moment, the majority of the City Guard’s attention was focused on Jiang Chen, ready either to stop him or to assist in capturing him.

”This kid, quite interesting!”

Si Wenkang curled his lips, speaking with amusement.

He could tell that Jiang Chen’s combat skill had already matured into a Heavenly-tier Cultivation Technique, and this skill could be used for burning and refining.

”Press down!”

Under the puzzled gazes of the crowd, the gigantic Heaven and Earth Furnace before Jiang Chen slowly shrank, soon becoming a fire furnace about one and a half meters tall.

If there were Earth cultivators present, they’d surely recognize it as a Pill Furnace used by Earth Pill Masters.

Upon acquiring the Heaven and Earth Furnace Combat Skill, Jiang Chen noticed this trait early on, but at that time, his strength was lacking, and his Primordial Spirit Power was weak, incapable of refining elixirs. Back then, the combat skill was merely Earth Rank, unable to withstand intense flames.

Now the Heaven and Earth Furnace contained the Gold-devouring Flame of the Gold-devouring Rat Clan, a top-tier Spiritual Fire capable of contending with the Long Yan; this meant even throwing Long Yan into the Heaven and Earth Furnace posed no great issue.

”What’s he up to?”

”Is he planning to use the combat skill to refine elixirs?”

”Seems so. Using flame combat skills to refine elixirs requires exceptional fire control ability!”

”How bold, but indeed clever. Without using combat skills, his primordial spirit strength and Great Dao power wouldn’t support refining high-grade elixirs!”

Those around also realized what Jiang Chen intended, whispering their speculations.

”Hmph! Mere attention-seeking antics!”

A cold snort echoed, Feng Yunxi glared at Jiang Chen, taking out a Spirit Fruit from his Space Ring and tossing it into the Alchemy Cauldron.

Hmm? Thunder Fruit?

Jiang Chen glanced at Feng Yunxi, momentarily stunned.

Thunder Fruit, a growth-type Spirit Fruit, Feng Yunxi had produced a seventh-grade Thunder Fruit.

”Another Thunder Fruit?”

”Three people refining Thunder Fruit as their first Spirit Fruit, are they all planning to make Thunder Spirit Pill?”

A stir of chatter rose among the crowd.

Jiang Chen was slightly flustered, glancing around, a touch of helplessness surfaced in his heart.

Lei Cheng and Huo Langtian were also refining Thunder Fruit.

But on second thought, Jiang Chen wasn’t surprised. Thunder Spirit Pill is a top-grade elixir among sixth-grade elixirs; anyone whose Alchemy Dao has reached the pinnacle of the sixth grade would likely refine Thunder Spirit Pill in such a major competition.

What rendered Jiang Chen speechless was that he too planned to refine Thunder Spirit Pill!

Let’s see whose refining turns out superior!

Jiang Chen muttered inwardly, taking out a Thunder Fruit and placing it into the Heaven and Earth Furnace.

”There goes another Thunder Fruit?”

”Is Jiang Chen also planning to refine Thunder Spirit Pill?”

”Thunder Fruit isn’t only used for Thunder Spirit Pill, right?”

”Are you suggesting Thunder Origin Pill? The materials are similar, but it requires a God Concealing Pill as the main ingredient, which is an extraordinarily difficult-to-craft peak seventh-grade elixir. Who would be willing to use a God Concealing Pill to make an equivalent-grade Thunder Origin Pill?”

Seeing Jiang Chen also bringing out a Thunder Fruit, the crowd was momentarily astonished.

Even if Thunder Spirit Pill is the top-grade among sixth-grade elixirs, wouldn’t it be better not to all choose the same?

However, this did spare some unnecessary trouble; if others were crafting the same grade, with equivalent usefulness and similar number of pill lines, it could lead to disputes over shared believability. If they were all crafting the same elixir, there wouldn’t be any need for such arguments.

Identical elixirs cannot be precisely the same, just as no two people can have precisely the same appearance, physique, bones, talents, and personality.

Thus, judging superiority becomes much easier.

At this point, everyone started extracting Spiritual Medicine—all those present either knew which elixirs were being refined or found it impossible to discern, depending on what these extracted Spirit Grasses were suitable for.

Huo Feng’er, Lei Ling’er, Si Huang’er, and others focused their attention on Jiang Chen’s Heaven and Earth Furnace, not just them; most people were watching Jiang Chen’s refinement, for this Alchemy Dao competition, Jiang Chen had garnered quite too much attention.

”Huh? What’s he doing now? The Thunder Fruit hasn’t fully refined yet?”

A soft murmur arose, focusing on Jiang Chen, their brows furrowed.

At this moment, the Thunder Fruit in Jiang Chen’s Heaven and Earth Furnace hadn’t fully liquefied; he extracted a Spirit Grass and placed it into the Heaven and Earth Furnace.

”Jiang Chen’s Primordial Spirit strength and Great Dao power are inferior to others; he must use some other tactics to succeed. If he follows the standard steps, he likely won’t produce elixirs others can, for his strength is just a shade too low!”

Lei Wenyuan commented judiciously.

”Usually, even with profound knowledge in Alchemy Dao, Pill Masters in the Divine Infant Realm likely can only craft fourth-grade elixirs. Jiang Chen’s Primordial Spirit Condensation is high, with his Primordial Spirit strength surpassing peers by far, and the power is refined. But crafting a top-tier sixth-grade Thunder Origin Pill won’t be easy!”

Lei Tingfeng spoke worriedly.

Those concerned about Jiang Chen had a hint of tension in their eyes.

Yet, only two were secretly exchanging rapid messages.

”Master, is Jiang Chen truly using Ancient Alchemy?”

Si Wenkang’s eyes glinted with sharpness.

”He likely is—layered extraction, even simultaneous full extraction—all are methods of extracting herbs in Ancient Alchemy. Unlike his layered extraction of essence, which results in more refined extraction.”

Elder Shui nodded lightly.

”Good kid, no wonder he can craft God Concealing Pill; this isn’t ordinary Ancient Alchemy!”

Si Wenkang’s eyes showed a hint of admiration.

”Despite this, the kid probably won’t make the top five, as there seem to be several here crafting seventh-grade elixirs. These old fellows have no shame, pretending to be young to join the competition!”

Elder Shui glanced at several places, then slowly closed his eyes again.

Si Wenkang was momentarily stunned, scanning the twenty present, a mystic light shone in his eyes.

One, two, three, four!

Four disguised elders!

Si Wenkang’s mystic light faded, feeling somewhat speechless. It wasn’t like the Origin Continent’s Elixir Peak competition, where age limits were set, why the disguise?

Suddenly, Si Wenkang thought of something, glancing at Huo Langran and the others.

They were here secretly to target the Huo Family!
